Trump's media stock falls again — this time below $18

Donald Trump's media company stock has fallen again, this time down to $18.

At the end of last week, DJT dropped below $20 after topping out at over $79 at one point. A year later, CNBC showed that the Truth Social parent company is suffering far worse than his presidential campaign numbers, which are down (43 percent) against Kamala Harris' 48 percent, a USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll said.

Trump is currently under a "lockup agreement" that prevents him and his investors from selling their stock until later this month. Under the agreement, insiders can't sell their stock until a certain amount of time after the initial public offering, or IPO, goes public.

Trump hasn't indicated that he intends to sell off the stock when it becomes possible.

"Trump Media’s single-day slide of more than 8 percent accompanied a broader market dip on Tuesday, especially for tech companies," said CNBC. "Shortly before 2:00 p.m. ET, the Nasdaq was trading 2.7 percent lower, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 had both declined over 1 percent."

Trends only explain part of the loss, the report said. "That's because the company's stock typically trades more like a meme stock." Such stocks gain popularity as a result of social media.
